Fixed the permission system.

Added more debug logging.
Renamed the label in the Forum Manager and Editor from Hidden to Active.
Fixed a bug in compileTemplates() where it only loads visible forums from the forum store possibly causing trouble.
Fixed a bug in the /topics/ route where super admin status wasn't being taken into consideration.
Dropped down a hotfix for the /topics/ route.
